I recently ordered Tri-Mountain's Stain Resistant Short Sleeve Twill Shirt and although I couldn't tell from the photo... it really looked like a uniform in person, especially in beige. So even though the picture of this shirt makes it look kinda dressy... I thought this might actually be uniformish as well.
Right I was. So I went into it being okay if it was like a uniform. Otherwise, I'd of given it 2-3 stars for the deceptive photo. I need to wear beige for work in rural abroad and needed something I could hand wash that wasn't see-through in beige. It's a nice change from a polo and a cuter alternative to the regular button up shirt. And the beige color definitely isn't see-through. But it has that stiffness of uniform material and I'm going to give it an inital wash.
I am normally a 2X in plus size so I ordered both an XXL and an XXXL since both of these sizes fit in the short sleeve twill shirt I ordered. Not so with this shirt. The XXL was too tight and waaaay too short. Like a petite cut. I wouldn't wear it unless I lost like 30 lbs., lol. But the XXXL was a very loose, comfy fit for my bear-like 2X frame... but a tad boxy looking. I would have preferred slightly smaller, maybe. I think it's from the stiffness of the material and will look better after a wash. It'll do.
So long as you aren't expecting a really dressy shirt and instead something more on the side of a uniform... you'll be happy with this shirt. It's made tough and good for work. I hope my sizing issues give you a better starting point than I had.
